Role of the lipoxin A4 receptor in the development of neutrophil extracellular traps in Leishmania infantum infection

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Neutrophils play an immunomodulatory role through the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are released in response to Leishmania infection, but the mechanism of NET extrusion has not been elucidated.

Overexpression of apolipoprotein A1 in the lung abrogates fibrosis in experimental silicosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The inhalation of silica particles induces silicosis, an inflammatory and fibrotic lung disease characterized by the early accumulation of macrophages and neutrophils in the airspace and subsequent appearance of silicotic nodules as a result of ...

Time-Dependent Protective and Pro-Resolving Effects of FPR2 Agonists on Lipopolysaccharide-Exposed Microglia Cells Involve Inhibition of NF-κB and MAPKs Pathways

Cells, 2021
Prolonged or excessive microglial activation may lead to disturbances in the resolution of inflammation (RoI). The importance of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) in RoI has been highlighted.

Lipoxins reduce obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation in 3D-cultured human adipocytes and explant cultures

iScience, 2022
Summary: Adipose tissue inflammation drives obesity-related cardiometabolic diseases. Enhancing endogenous resolution mechanisms through administration of lipoxin A4, a specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator, was shown to reduce adipose inflammation ...

Innate immunity is a key factor for the resolution of inflammation in asthma [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2015
The resolution of inflammation is an integral and natural part of the physiological response to tissue injury, infection and allergens or other noxious stimuli.

Glucocorticoids co-interact with lipoxin A4 via lipoxin A4 receptor (ALX) up-regulation

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2007
Lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) is an eicosanoid which is produced via lipoxygenases and characteristic of its anti-inflammatory effect in many metabolites of arachidonic acid, which are mostly pro-inflammatory. Glucocorticoids are well known also for their strong anti-inflammatory action but induce 5-lipoxygenase, essential to synthesize leukotrienes, which are

Pilot application of lipoxin A4 analog and lipoxin A4 receptor agonist in asthmatic children with acute episodes

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2017
Previous studies have demonstrated that lipoxin A4 (LXA4) analogs blocked both airway hyper-responsiveness and pulmonary inflammation in a murine model of asthma. The present pilot study investigated the initial efficacy and safety of inhaled 5(S),6(R)-LXA4 methyl ester and BML-111, a LXA4 agonist, in the treatment of asthmatic children with acute ...

Dysregulation of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and lipoxin A₄in bronchiectasis [PDF]

Thorax, 2021
IntroductionBronchiectasis is characterised by excessive neutrophilic inflammation. Lipid mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes have crucial roles in the inflammatory response. Further characterisation of these lipids and understanding the interplay of anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory lipid mediators could lead to the development of ...

Lipoxin A4 ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury through stimulating epithelial proliferation, reducing epithelial cell apoptosis and inhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by alveolar epithelial disruption. Lipoxins (LXs), as so-called “braking signals” of inflammation, are the first mediators identified to have dual anti-inflammatory and inflammatory ...

Novel biphasic role of lipoxinA4 on expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated lung fibroblasts [PDF]

, 2011
Fibroblasts are important to host defence and immunity, can also as initiators of inflammation as well. As the endogenous "braking signal", Lipoxins can regulate anti-inflammation and the resolution of inflammation.
